<p>Baltimore Lifeboat reported on their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BaltimoreLifeboatStation" target="_top">Facebook</a> page that they&nbsp;were launched on a MEDEVAC from Sherkin Island.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The lifeboat picked up the woman off the island&nbsp;and brought her back to&nbsp;Baltimore Lifeboat station&nbsp;where the HSE ambulance crew were waiting to transport her to hospital.</p>

<p>Her condition is not known at this time.</p>

<p>People have been advised that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.yourdaysout.com/news/swimmers-warned-not-to-use-dublin-and-wexford-beaches-1600">Lions Mane Jellyfish have been seen in the water</a> at numerous locations along the Irish coast with some beaches&nbsp;advising people not to swim or even enter the water.</p>

<p style="line-height: 20.8px;">The Irish Water Safety Authority&nbsp;<a href="http://www.iws.ie/beach/jellyfish-safety.321.html" target="_blank">published</a>&nbsp;First Aid for the treatment of jellyfish stings:</p>

<ul style="line-height: 20.8px;">
	<li>Ensure you don&#39;t get stung yourself when aiding others&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Remove any attached tentacles with a gloved hand, stick, or towel (none of these available use the tips of your fingers)</li>
	<li>Do not rub the affected area (this may result in further venom release)</li>
	<li>Rinse the affected area with sea-water (do not use fresh water, vinegar, alcohol or urine)</li>
	<li>Apply a &lsquo;dry cold pack&rsquo; to the area (i.e. place a cold pack or ice inside a plastic bag and then wrap this package in a t-shirt or other piece of cloth)</li>
	<li>Seek medical attention if there is anything other than minor discomfort</li>
	<li>If the patient is suffering from swelling, breathing difficulties, palpitation or chest tightness then transfer to the nearest emergency department urgently</li>
</ul>
